WESTFORD, Mass. -- May 13, 2013 -- Artel Video Systems, a leading global provider of broadcast-quality video transport solutions, today announced that its DLM205 and DLC205 9-port Ethernet aggregators and optical transceivers are now shipping. Integrating seamlessly within the company's DigiLink video transport platform, both single-slot modules are the ideal solution for broadcasters, CATV operators, telco operators, and video service providers looking to aggregate Ethernet traffic across a single optical or electrical connection.

The versatile DLM205 and DLC205 feature innovative designs for aggregating up to nine channels of 10/100/1000 Ethernet traffic for transport across electrical or optical networks. Nonblocking, and supporting a total capacity of 18 gigabits of Ethernet traffic, the modules combine three electrical and two multipurpose SFP cages with four internal ports supporting traffic from other modules in a chassis, plus chassis management into a single Ethernet connection. The DLM205 features integrated DL-Manager HTTP and SNMP capabilities to enable DL4000 chassis in-band management.
